In honor of St. Patrick's Day, New York media mecca
Michael's will be buzzing with good Irish cheer tonight, at the fifth annual
Kelly Gang Benefit. Among the many Kellys expected include
Keith Kelly of the
New York Post, NFL hall-of-famer
Jim Kelly, New York City police commisioner
Ray Kelly, novelist
Tom Kelly, Ed Kelly of American Express,
Time Inc.'s managing editor, Jim Kelly, and
House Beautiful publisher
Kate Kelly Smith. No word on whether
Kelly Ripa will make an appearance.
The dinner fete will raise money for
Hunter's Hope, a charity dedicated to fighting Krabbe's Disease, the genetic blood disorder that claimed the life of eight-year-old Hunter Kelly, son of footballer Jim Kelly, in 2005.
Having so many Kellys in one place would have been a dream come true for Woody Boyd , the television bartender who famously composed the "
Kelly Song." He and others would be "cheered" to know, however, that one needn't be a Kelly—or even Irish—to attend. Walk-in ticket buyers are welcome, starting at 6:30 p.m.
